Infrastructure SA, a programme within the ministry of public works, has already identified a pipeline of 19 green hydrogen projects valued at more than R300bn.

Public works minister Patricia de Lille told the summit on Tuesday that SA was competing against countries such as Chile and Australia, and several countries in the Middle East to capture a share of the global export market for green hydrogen.The demand for hydrogen reached an estimated 87-million tonnes in 2020 and is expected to grow to between 500-million and 680-million tonnes by 2050. Of this, the export market will account for 100-180Mt.

“According to the plan SA will need $98bn over the next five years to enable a just transition and achieve our ambitious emissions reduction targets,” Ramaphosa said.
